It’s a party!

I do love a good mash-up card and this is one of them! I’ve combined loads of different brands to make this. Distress Oxide inks for the background before using an My Favorite Things background stamp for the text. I think sprinkled water on after to get it more uneven. After using a mini slimline die cut I used Picket Fence Studios paper glaze on a Pretty Pink Posh stencil for the banners. The cupcake is a digital stamp by Alex Syberia coloured in copics. It’s cut out and put on foam tape. An Altenew sentiment and die set is for the text stripe and the sequins are Little Things by Lucy.

I have gotten to play with some of the new images and here is the first card I want to show you.

Alex Syberia Fabulous Floral

Today marks the March release for Alex Syberia and I’ve been invited along as a guest designer! The stamp I chose for my Instagram Hop post is called Fabulous Floral and is designed to fit a slimline card. I decided to keep it as a slimline and opted for a light peach shade for all the flowers. The black cardstock framed it in nicely. I added a few black dots to the white space, a sentiment and then a handful of transparent sequins as embellishments.

I found a sentiment in my stamp collection that fit perfectly in both size and text. It’s from a collab set between GinaK Design and Hero Arts.

Copics used is YR00, R12, YR0, R22, R43, E44, E79

Alex Syberia Lovely Bouquet

I have made another card with the new Alex Syberia Design release. This time I’ve coloured up the Lovely Bouquet. I resized and rotated the stamp to get it how I wanted it before I printed it on A2 card stock. Once coloured I cut off a little on the size and at the bottom. The sentiment is by Hero Arts / Gina K and I used Altenew ink to stamp it. Then I sprinkled on some frantage with blue glitter and heat embossed that before using foam tape to put the coloured panel onto dark blue card stock.

Here is another photo so you can see the frantage with the blue glitter at a close-up.

Copics used: B21, B24, B26, B39, G21, G43, G46, BG99, BG72, BG75, BG78, RV34, R39

Alex Syberia autumn harvest

Alex Syberia Design is out with a new release today and I’ve been lucky to be asked to guest design for it! For my first project I’ve made a slimline card using this harvest stamp. There is an Instagram Hop for this release today as well.

After I had coloured it all up, I finally came up with a layout I wanted to try. As much as I keep telling myself it’s only paper, it’s still a bit scary to just tear up the paper with your coloured image after you’re not only done with it, but really happy with it (especially that pumpkin)! Thankfully it didn’t only work, but I got it pretty much how I’d pictured it.

I used kraft cardstock for the base of the card and the paper that is peeking out from behind the coloured panel is from the latest Maja Design release. I’ve used a die and enamel dots from Altenew and then embossed an MFT Stamps sentiment on matching orange cardstock.

Copics used: YR24, YR27, E08, E18, E19, YG21, YG93, YG97, YG99, V22, V25, V28, BV23, BV25, BV29, R12, R43, R46, R37, R39, W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, YG21, G21, G94, G99
